Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Li Lijun stood in front of a small Taoist temple by the Weishui River, and looked around uncertainly.

Although there are other Taoist temples in this area, this one is indeed the only one with a blue light in the sky.What did Taoist Xuanying say back then?When you see the blue light, you can find the Qiyou Temple.

Is Keqiyou Temple so small?It is close to the base of the old city wall. It seems that it is [-] square meters in size. The front door is also very small. There are many trees planted around it. The tall trunks and dense tree crowns seal the space above the Taoist temple wall tightly. It's impossible to see what's going on.Li Lijun can also feel that some kind of protective circle is also arranged on the wall of the Taoist temple, which not only avoids the peeping of outsiders, but also prevents outsiders from invading.

The concealment is quite good, and the security should be good, but this seems really too small!Even the viewing gate was half covered by the big tree in front of the gate.If it wasn't for Li Lijun's eyes that could distinguish the blue light floating in the sky above the Taoist temple, he might have just ignored this small Taoist temple when passing by.

She stepped forward and looked around for a few times, and finally found the plaque covered by the branches and leaves of the big tree, with the words "Qiyou Guan" written on it.

That's right, she finally found a place.

The gate is closed tightly, and the surrounding area is also quiet.It was only a few hundred feet away that I occasionally saw a few people fishing on the bank of the river. Only the Weihe River not far away made the sound of flowing water.

Li Lijun knocked on the door of Qiyou Temple.

After a while, the door opened with a creak, revealing a young boy's jade-white face through the crack.He looked out of the door suspiciously, staring at Li Lijun for a few seconds before he remembered who she was: "Ah! You are... the little uncle I met at the Jingyang county government that day...is it Li Shishu?"

Li Lijun greeted him with a smile: "Hello, I don't know your name, I'm sorry. I'm here to play with Senior Brother Xuanying."

The young Taoist quickly said: "Uncle Li, you are welcome. The younger generation's Taoist name is Guanming. You can call me Guanming. My master is making alchemy. The old man has been talking about you for a long time, and has been saying, why don't you see Uncle Li coming to see him?" !” While speaking, Guan Ming opened the door and welcomed Li Lijun to enter.

Li Lijun didn't mention the weapon hidden behind his back, walked into the door openly, and said: "I found a warm place to nest in winter last winter, and I ran out after the beginning of spring to continue my travels. Isn't this the reason why I have accumulated some charms recently and came to play with Senior Brother Xuanying?"

Unsurprisingly, the interior of Qiyou Temple is really small, with one main hall, two small side rooms on the left and right, one east and west wing, and more than half a thatched shed next to the east wing, and that's it.All the buildings are clear at a glance. Although they are old, they are cleaned very cleanly, but the space is very small, and it doesn't feel like a long-term dojo for practitioners.However, Li Lijun looked at the faint fluctuations in the dense grove behind the main hall, and guessed that there might be some secret space there.

After Guanming welcomed the person into the temple, he closed the door, and warmly greeted Li Lijun to enter the East Wing to have a cup of tea: "I'll invite Master to come over. Uncle Li, please sit down for a while."

The East Wing was also very clean, with a few simple pieces of furniture, some of the most common Taoist scriptures on the shelves, futons on the floor, and coarse porcelain tea sets on the small table. The room was like a snow cave.

Not long after Li Lijun sat down, Taoist Xuanying's laughter came from the direction of the main hall: "Hahaha, Junior Sister Li has been looking for Brother Yu for so long, please tell Brother Yu to wait!" Before the laughter fell, people had already entered the east chamber .Taoist Xuanying was wearing a half-worn Taoist robe, with a bit of fireworks on his body.It seems that when Guan Ming said that he was making alchemy, he was not prevaricating.

However, the main hall is so big, the door is open, and there is no alchemy furnace inside, where can he make alchemy?It seems that the hidden space of Qiyou Guan is just behind the main hall.This space is likely to be isolated from the Qiyou Temple in front, so Li Lijun generously knocked on the door to visit, but Taoist Xuanying had to wait for Guanming to report her before he knew she was here.

Otherwise, how could such a big movement in front of the Qiyou Temple with a size of [-] square meters not reach the ears of the people in the temple?

Li Lijun just pretended not to know, smiled and greeted Taoist Xuanying: "How is senior brother? My little sister went to Wodong a few months ago, and I didn't have anything good at hand, so I was embarrassed to come to senior brother. Now I finally saved some things to share with you." I dare to come to see you because of the merits exchanged by others!"

"Really? Junior Sister Li has saved up some good things? Brother, you should take a good look." Taoist Xuanying smiled and beckoned her to sit down on the futon, and Guan Ming brought tea.After pouring the tea into the cup, the fragrance came out, and Li Lijun recognized it as a low-end spiritual tea.

However, it is very generous for a Qi refining monk to treat guests with spiritual tea.

Li Lijun showed a "light-up" expression: "Ah, senior brother Xuanying really has a lot of good things here. My little sister hasn't had such good tea for several months!" With relish.

Taoist Xuanying looked very proud: "It's natural. Junior sister came to me, can I entertain you with those low-end things? This is Xueya Chunxin, which senior brother just got recently. The quality is very good. If it weren't for junior sister It’s here, and I can’t take it out to entertain guests. It’s a pity that the number is too small, otherwise I will send it back to the sect to honor the elders, and maybe I can get some rewards!”

Li Lijun originally wanted to forge a false impression that "I used to drink this kind of tea, but I didn't drink it when I was traveling in recent months", so as to indirectly prove that my teacher has a lot of background. I didn't expect Taoist Xuanying to take it. The spirit tea that comes out is really rare in the practice circle of Xuantang Small World. It is so precious that he has considered offering it to the elders of the master.This favor is not small, Li Lijun hurriedly said: "I didn't expect it to be the spirit tea treasured by senior brother, my little sister is really panic."

Taoist Xuanying waved his hands: "What kind of friendship do you and I have? Why bother with the elder brother heretics?" He said it as if the two really had a deep friendship.

He approached Li Lijun, lowered his voice and asked: "The last time I asked my junior sister to tell the elders at home... I don't know if there is an answer?"

Li Lijun instantly understood why Taoist Xuanying was so generous, and approached him mysteriously, and whispered: "I have already sent a letter to the master, but the master told me not to mention this for the time being, and don't tell anyone about it. She paused, and lowered her voice, "I heard that he is a senior with the best qualifications in the sect. He met people from other sects when he was traveling abroad, and he thought of changing the sect. The elders of the sect heard the news. They were all furious, and immediately called them back. Even the other members of the same sect who were still traveling outside, the sect also sent an uncle to wander around, responsible for watching everyone's cultivation, for fear that they might make bad friends by mistake. !"

Taoist Xuanying was taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "I don't know the name of that senior brother of yours? Which sect recruited you?!"

Li Lijun spread his hands: "The master just sent me a message in a cryptic manner, saying that the rumors of the sect are getting tighter, and told me to be honest and not cause trouble. I didn't even mention which sect is acting so carelessly."

Taoist Xuanying blinked his eyes, feeling in his heart that under the current situation, those who have the confidence to openly recruit elite disciples from other factions must be people from their True Immortal Temple, but who knows which of the expatriate senior brothers has such vicious eyes, and they are so vicious at a glance. He focused on the young disciple with the best qualifications.It's a pity that good vision doesn't mean good means. What's the use of only finding good seedlings?Not to mention that the person was not recruited, but also alarmed the elders of the teacher's sect, and even the good seedlings who were almost in his hands were about to fly away, it was really maddening!
However, listening to the words of Junior Sister Li and her master, it seems that it was not accidental, but act cautiously.

Taoist Xuanying hurriedly said: "There is no need to worry about this matter. You masters and apprentices still have to protect yourself. Anyway, senior brother is not in a hurry here, anyway, we are our own family sooner or later, it is the same if we come early or late!"
